I have both the C15 and C17, one on a road bike and the wider one on my touring bike. Overall I am very happy with them. As Brooks say, they're comfy straight out of the box, no breaking in. They've hardly worn at all so still look good and I've had both since their first launch, so quite a while now.
But saying that, I still have one leather Brooks on another road bike (a Swallow) and it is noticeably more comfortable on long rides. I've had it since 2012 so plenty of time to mold into shape.
I'd definitely buy another vegan Brooks as I'll never be buying leather again.
